          Appeal No. 95-0938                                                          
          Application 07/796,310                                                      


          designated fuzzy rule group, the fuzzy set, and actual values as            
          applied to the designated fuzzy rule group.  Based on the                   
          condition frame, the designated fuzzy rule group and fuzzy set              
          are combined.  The combined fuzzy rule group and fuzzy set is               
          executed.                                                                   
               All other claims depend from either claims 7, 9 or 11.                 
          Independent claims 7, 9 and 11 are reproduced below:                        

                    7.  A fuzzy reasoning method for executing a fuzzy                
          reasoning in a fuzzy reasoning application, comprising the steps            
          of:                                                                         
                         preparing a fuzzy rule group, and also preparing a           
          plurality of fuzzy sets which correspond to said fuzzy rule                 
          group, for said fuzzy reasoning application, each of the fuzzy              
          sets including a plurality of membership functions,                         
                         dynamically selecting at least one of said fuzzy             
          sets at the time of execution of the fuzzy reasoning in response            
          to information existing at that time,                                       
                         combining the selected fuzzy set with said fuzzy             
          rule group, and                                                             
                         executing said fuzzy reasoning by using the                  
          combined fuzzy rule group and fuzzy set.                                    

                    9.  A fuzzy reasoning method for executing a fuzzy                
          reasoning in a fuzzy reasoning application, comprising the steps            
          of:                                                                         
                         preparing a plurality of fuzzy rule groups, and              
          also preparing a plurality of fuzzy sets which correspond to the            
          fuzzy rule groups for said fuzzy reasoning application, each of             
          the fuzzy sets including a plurality of membership functions,               

                                          3
